Darcy is a total tool. no doubt about it. If you spend 10 mins within 100 yards of him especially when drink is involved whether it be in cardiff or especially Torun where he walks on water then you would come to this conclusion. Damn fine speedway rider though and about the most exciting there is

Any ideas on the Glasgow line up for this 1 ?

Choices for Friday are pretty dreaful actually. There are a few NL games on too which restricts us even more. Looking down the list of eligible riders. Looking like Simon Lambert, Chris Mills, Simon Nielsen or Liam Carr. If none of them acept looking at NL rider

There is a big recession in the city and the crowds for league matches there have been dwindling. Gollob and Emil certainly was a factor along with the Onesport deal. You can enter some Polish league meetings for £6. Tickets for decent seats were at least 5x that so i struggle to see the argument if they lowered the pricing that more wouldn't have showed up

The silence answers the question. Bring the ticket prices down to just above Polish league meeting costs and you will pack out every Polish GP

Edinburgh for sure are all that is bad with speedway

Probably be a fair few tickets bought on the day but numbers still seem low

7 of us going from Glasgow

I think it is a completely understandable point of view. You pay to watch your team race competitively. We have a number 1 who hasn't won a race at home yet and ran 4 lasts. People will see it going like last year all over again. Was yesterday worth £16 in your opinion? There will be a group of fans (diehards , me included) who will keep going but the casual fan will not stand for that. Yesterday was embarrassing at times and it was very similar to a meeting with the Monarchs last season. Our team have been described as fence scrapers and we do not have much dirt out there is what people are getting at. Every pass bar 1 yesterday was up the inside I think bar 1 by Anders on the outside of 4

5 people have already told me since yesterday that they wont be back until we change the team. Also there is Liverpool v Man City next Sunday. People may just see that as a good enough excuse to stay away. The only time I have ever questioned not going is after we fiddled the averages at Edinburgh because I felt cheated after paying to watch. Even the most hardened fan is starting to question value for money after the last few years. There are so many things that need addressed. Surely to god there is someone out there who can help us out with the track. If Doc cant do it surely one of the other northern tracks has someone who's services would be available. Is that a financial decision too? We no doubt have invested in Wolbert with signing on fees etc. Will this make it tough to get rid of him if a big chunk of the budget was already spent on him ? That's where he needs to have top machinery. Surely a sign on fee should be used to make sure your equipment is sorted

Guessing predictive text for Wolbert. Can he afford another engine ? If not then we can't carry him any longer

Edinburgh have such a slick presentation to us. Every small detail is better. Doc always has the track in good shape. We always seem to be doing last minute track work. If you turn up to Armadale 45 minute before the meeting and the weather is fair you never see any work being done. Maybe it is easier at night however I just dont get how our gating can be so bad. It surely cant all bad reactions. Do we need guidance on setups? The Monarchs were out of the gate quicker in most reces by quite some distance. Young Berge can get it right and hes a novice. Rusty has been solid all year. The rest need to have a serious re-think

The team manager doing the track during the meeting is how unpriofessional we are at the moment. His job should be in thepits with the riders during a meeting. A number 1 who cant beat newcomers to this level of racing at home is a real problem. I have sympathy for him if he has financial problems but that doesn't help the Tigers 1 bit. If he cant make it work then maybe he has to have a career re-think. We need to be cut throat this season. Another season like last could see us on the brink of closure. From what look a decent crowd yesterdayhow many will be back next week after that performance.

I thought there was quite a decent Tigers support there last night all things considered. Really happy with the way the boys performed. Confident we can get the first win on the board tomorrow

Thanks. Sort of thought something along these lines. Was more meaning on who ends up where. Do the BSPA pick where each rider lines up?

So do each country actually select where each of their rider race ? Is it top so many in each national championship ?

Does anyone know when the full line up will be announced ?

Yeah it is strange. They didn't really want it to begin with so maybe they knew something like this was going to happen. Be interesting to see what world cup sales are like

Any idea why they want passport numbers? Will we have to provide ID at the gate?

Guys a little help if anyone knows. Trying to book 7 tickets but its asking for ID for each one. Can I just use my own ID for each ticket or will I need everyones passport info ? I dont remember getting asked for ID last year ?

Im sure it will be fine. I wish i could remember if i was sent Tickets last year. I know i picked them up at the meeting but cant remember if it was Byd or Torun or both. It's not ideal but all the plans are in place so i really dont see it being cancelled

Here's hoping a u-turn from Mr G on the wild card then as well if they are all friends again

Cheers Phil I had emaileed the ticket office a month back to which they said they would be on sale a few weeks ago. Guessing they are having some internal issues but they are leaving it a little late if it goes on much further

No update on this Saga yet Phil. Even with regards to what the delay is about ?

Pay at the gate ?
